Coach Peter Wehry
In 1985, Pete Wehry graduated from Bob Jones University with a BA in Youth Ministries and a minor in Coaching. He then went back to his home ministry, Farmington Avenue Baptist Church and Hartford Christian Academy, where he served as youth pastor and athletic director for eleven years. During that time, he acted as Hartford Christian’s head soccer and basketball coach. In 1996, he moved to Ocala, Florida, where he served as an assistant pastor at Berean Baptist Church and taught at Ocala-Vanguard High School. At Vanguard, he was the assistant varsity boys’ basketball coach and helped run the prestigious Kingdom of the Sun Christmas Basketball Tournament. In the spring of 1999, he joined the staff of First Baptist Church in Mishawaka, Indiana, where he served as associate pastor, youth pastor, and athletic director.
During his tenure at First Baptist, Coach Wehry directed an exciting basketball outreach ministry called “POSTUP “ (Proclaiming Our Savior to Unreached People) which became an integral part of evangelism and discipleship at First Baptist. While in Mishawaka, he began his Master of Ministry degree at Northland Baptist Bible College, which he completed in 2006. In the summer of 2004 he joined the staff at Northland as the dean of students and as the assistant basketball coach under Dennis Scott. In June of 2007, he was appointed the athletic director and the head basketball coach. Coach Wehry is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and in 2008 completed the NABC’s Professional Development Series.
“I am extremely honored to be part of the Northland family. It is a tremendous privilege to be the head basketball coach at Northland. I wholeheartedly support Northland’s philosophy of ‘Training the Next Generation of Servant Leaders,’ and that is my goal as I work with this group of young men. We will strive to play with a passion that stems from having a passion for God and for ministry.”
Coach Wehry and wife, Lisa, have two boys: PJ, twenty years old, and Drew, twelve years old.
